This section was one o the first pages in this wiki. I haven't modified it since early 2000 or so.

Now I do, because a) I noticed that the owner of the page got lost and I don't want more spam and b) I stumbled over a reference to Henry G. Baker Critique of DIN Kernel Lisp definition version 1.2, which I have not (yet) read, but which argues in favor of a lot of features we included into BALL over those years.

So, here this pages content from 2000-2008:

- Root less object network model.
- Persistent data.
- Not data specific, XML optimized.
- Flexible name space management.
- Object autonomy.
- ACID transactions.
- Simple messaging concept.
- Any extension language feasible.
- Lightweight threads at my fingertip.
- The sheer concept of a dead lock is a bug altogether.
- Many network protocols supported.
- API for backing store adaptors supporting freenet, gnutella etc.
- Distributed Virtual Machine (DVM).
- A frame work for object to sustain at least 15 years.
- Something for document management as Perl is for tasks like system
  administration.  Would have to be sort of an application server,
  but none could deliver the needed features.
- Few dependencies, small footprint.
